Republicans' appeal of North Carolina's new congressional map has already been denied. This map will officially be in place for 2022 (but not beyond). https://t.co/lZCK2XW9PI

Just realized North Carolina is going to use four different congressional maps in four consecutive elections: 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024.

The NC special masters' map is pretty much exactly proportional to the state's lean (7R-6D-1C), but it makes some curious choices to get there. Most notably, it splits Black communities down the middle in Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville and Raleigh. pic.twitter.com/4KenQ16Tb4

If NC Supreme Court upholds this congressional map, would be a big win for Dems: a 7R-6D-1C plan, w/ a new safe Dem #NC14 in Charlotte and a new competitive but Dem-trending #NC13 outside Raleigh. https://t.co/ELsiRfP9iw

This week the North Carolina legislature passed a remedial congressional district map and well it's definitely a map. Obama carried six districts on this map in 2012 but Biden carried five. pic.twitter.com/BPhm8MVQCc

The #NCGA passed all three new maps tonight—for house, senate and Congress.

🚨NEW: NC Supreme Court has released its full opinion striking down maps:

"We hold that the General Assembly’s 2021 enacted plans are partisan gerrymanders that on the basis of partisan affiliation substantially infringe upon plaintiffs’ fundamental right to equal voting power."
End partisan gerrymandering.

If you're not a lawyer or constitutional scholar this might seem tedious. But the meaning is clear: If the NC challenge succeeds at SCOTUS there would be no redress for gerrymandering since it was previously thrown back to states. #BlueVoices #Demvoice1https://t.co/Z5KFVd8shk
